Hi I am Fabumi. I am 29 years old and am planning on

first lesson. Today’s lesson will be on
waters polarity. Polarity is the effect of
two or more atoms having opposite
charges, which causes them to be -
attracted to each other. Without Oxygen
polarity, oxygen and hydrogen atoms +

would not be attracted to each other to
form water. “That would be horrible,” I -
exclaimed. Without water I would not Oxygen
be able to dive, because there would just
be oxygen and hydrogen atoms, they
would not bond to form water.
